If we had a center, we'd be unstoppable.

10+ on MSU.

Looks like another one of those Big 10 games where the refs get influenced by the crowd. We'll take it this time.

Figured so. That's why I admire you so much for doing both. Rare. I suppose it helps you grew up playing hoops. Nowadays, you pick one or the other. And you are taught to hate the other.

I get what you guys are saying about the Center thing, but (*puts on maroon colored glasses*) we have two legitimate (by size) big guys who are both sophomores and the hope is that one of them shows a fair amount of improvement by tournament time. Mbakwe is as strong as anyone and has almost the wing span of anyone, he's just a bit shorter than most centers. My bigger worry is point guard play and a shooting threat, but Andre Hollins makes me feel better about both of those with each passing game.

On the team, some things to improve. But this is Andre's team and I love his aggressiveness.

Loved how they welcomed Tyus Jones by yelling his name. I think they want him to stay here in the state

Section 208 for us, Pete.

Awesome atmosphere.

Tubby wanted that one. Starters played almost all of the 2nd half.

U FT bad, MST (2-10) worse.

My feelings on the day on some guys mentioned in the game posts:

Dre: Reggie Jackson

Mbakwe and R.Williams: lunchpail guys. Worked hard. Never thought I'd say that about Williams.

Eliason: Uncomfy off the bench

Welch: wanted to go to the hoop, not much else

Walker: Disinterested in setting picks/using a real post move/playing D

Oto: Should have played more.

Austin H: Needs to get open more at the key.

Coleman: Needs a solid 15 Ft shot.

MSU d was tough. down the stretch the U was better.

Greyhounds. MN is more athletic overall than MSU

Appling: Stud

Izzo: Manipulator extraordinairre
wayyyyyyyyy outta the coaches box multiple times. No T. Bogus

Interesting to here the barnyard with F*** Tom Izzo chant TWICE in the second half.


Great fun, William and Olivia's first U Hoops game at the Barn. They're ready to go again.

Inbound baseline plays: Partly MSU, but please, try drawing up something different. Embarrassing.
